Welcome to 2019. We hope that the year is filled with memorable moments, growth and destiny’s best for you. The year 2019 carries the vibration of Planet Jupiter in the sense that it adds up to a numerological value of 3. For most part of the year, Jupiter remains in the sign of Scorpio owned by its friend Mars. One can expect great developments in the new knowledge, cutting edge growth led by new discoveries and innovations and learning. But for most part there could be an element of surprise or secrecy to it. Rapid strides in technology using artificial intelligence, new techniques in medicine and surgery or development of new weaponry and warfare methods are possible.

From the month of March, Saturn remains conjunct with Ketu in the sign of Sagittarius. Many an organisation may witness overhauling of structures, difficult equation among the hierarchies – imbalance of power centres as there is difficulty in getting along. The world order may change dramatically with the steadfast and change averse Saturn and the harbinger of evolution Ketu who residing together from March 2019 onwards. Just imagine what would transpire, if two people –chalk and cheese, with very different personalities come to live together in the same room – fireworks, spiritual hunger and/ or confusion, wandering, exploration of different equations/ arrangements for peaceful cohabitation and even prolonged periods of feeling indifferent could be in order!

The year 2019 for Scorpio/ Vrishchika in a nutshell:

The year 2019 promises to be a year of possibilities for the Scorpio born individuals. Things get progressively well as time goes by. You have only one more year left to finish the Sade Sati period. The fatigue and frustration of having faced so much difficulty previously could be taking its toll through. What you need to realise is that it will take only a tad bit more of perseverance and this too shall pass.

The initial half of the year may see you a tad bit worried about the finances- especially paying off any debt that you’d have incurred. There could be some worry about protecting your reputation also. Later half of the year may bring a significant opportunity for growth. You may initiate a whole new chapter in life, embracing new idea or a new philosophy. Last quarter of the year may signal the beginning of a really good spell as Jupiter enters your 2nd house bringing good luck.

The year 2019 begins on a fairly promising note compared to the last year. You may see a glimmer of opportunity and hope with new avenues for growth opening up and along with that, your own outlook to be changing. You may be a lot more mature now. Also there is a palpable desire not get stuck in the vortex of bitterness and resentment - to move forward, irrespective of what is the storm other people would like to stir up! Those engaged in regular employment/service may still have an episode or two where someone who you looked up to, lets you down!

There could be disappointment with your remuneration – you may feel underpaid or underappreciated or both. The silver lining though is that your efforts for finding suitable opening in new places may begin to bear fruit. However, do not be gullible and do not base your decision solely on financial parameters. It does not make sense to upset the apple cart because of a disturbing emotional spell. Those engaged in business may begin work on a promising new idea or may incorporate changes to their method of working.

A word of caution here-it may be a stressful time for family run businesses- there is likelihood of differences coming out into the open, quite strongly. There may be a split too. You will need to keep a firm grip on your communication. With Saturn and Ketu posited in the 2nd house of earnings, speech and communications, there’s a twofold warning - unnecessary aggression or harsh speech may cause damage to your work place equations. Likewise, not expressing your concerns, desires or bothersome issues may have you being bypassed or taken for granted – others end up taking advantage!

It is best to take an assertive stand with a calm and balanced frame of mind. Some Scorpios may stay away from home for prolonged periods of time. Things get better as the last quarter of the year unfolds. There is monetary gain and possibly a gain of a prestigious award or position of value at the work place. This is the time where people working in the energy sector, academicians and sports persons finally begin to see the results of their hard work prevail. It’s only onwards and upwards from here.

Marriage, Romance and Relationships forecast for Scorpio/ Vrishchika in 2019:

It’s an average year where the aspect of life is concerned. Some Scorpio individuals are likely to stay away from home for work and this may cause some homesickness. The other Scorpios dealing with difficult equations may not be able to resolve a situation completely but are able to get a lot more clarity about what they want from a particular relationship. There still may be some episodes of feeling hurt and some kind of grief, despite the wisdom! It is alright and you must not be self-critical for feeling low sometimes.

It is the perfect time to work on tough parent-child equations too- however, instead of having a pity party in the head, it would be a lot better to ask, “What have I learnt from this situation?” or “How do I contribute to this situation?” There could be stress about fulfilling needs and requirements of children/dependants. The younger Scorpios may find love and learn to trust in matters of the heart. The eligible and willing could tie the knot towards the year end. There is much more emotional comfort and peace in the last quarter.

Health forecast for Scorpio/ Vrishchika in 2019:

The Scorpio individuals need to address matters related to mental health proactively. It will do you well to talk to a counsellor and not let self-critical and self-destructive thoughts come in the way of wellness. There could be a slightly difficult time for those suffering from diabetes or high cholesterol. Scorpios with existing reproductive health or the lower abdomen should be especially careful. Do not self-medicate. Also hydration and timeliness of meals makes a big difference in the way you feel.
